Eda Ahi made her debut after publications in magazines in 2012 with a volume of poetry that mainly contained rhythmic and rhyming poetry. On the one hand, this type of poetry does not belong to the mainstream of modern Estonian poetry, but on the other hand it is intensively cultivated by two recognized representatives of contemporary Estonian poetry - Doris Kareva and Indrek Hirv . It is precisely this connection to the traditions of Estonian poetry that was emphasized in the reviews of the award-winning debut volume, whereby recognized greats of Estonian poetry such as Betti Alver , Heiti Talvik , Viivi Luik or Artur Alliksaar were mentioned as well as connections to Russian symbolism were discovered.

Her later work has also been compared again and again with greats from Estonian poetry history such as Marie Under , although there is never any mention of epigonism, rather the poet's own originality is always emphasized. Part of this originality of the largely rhymed poetry is the combination of different languages, which increases the variety of rhymes.
